Definitions
- the present application relates to methods and systems for the on-board removal of sulfur dioxide generated by a marine vessel.
- a method for scrubbing a marine vessel flue gas containing particulates and sulfur dioxide.
- the method includes spraying an alkaline fluid into the flue gas to produce a saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid; and flowing the saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid through a venturi to cause the particulates in the flue gas to impact the alkaline fluid and react at least a portion of the sulfur dioxide with the alkaline fluid.
- a system for scrubbing a marine vessel flue gas includes a flue gas stream containing particulates and sulfur dioxide produced from the marine vessel; an alkaline fluid spraying system adapted to spray an alkaline fluid into the flue gas stream to produce a saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid; and a venturi adapted to receive the saturated flue gas stream and impact the particulates in the flue gas onto the fluid and react at least a portion of the sulfur dioxide with the alkaline fluid.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustrating an improved system for the on-board removal of sulfur dioxide according to one or more embodiments of the present invention.
- the methods and systems disclosed herein can provide for the removal of sulfur dioxide and particulates from the flue gas of a marine vessel while avoiding one or more of the disadvantages associated with traditional marine scrubbers.
- the system can occupy less space and/or weigh less than a traditional marine scrubber having equivalent sulfur reduction capabilities.
- such systems can be less restrictive on the flue gas stream thereby reducing the demand or eliminating the need for induced draft or forced draft fans to move the flue gas through the scrubber.
- energy savings can be realized in some embodiments due to the reduction in pressure drop imposed by such improved systems. Operating cost savings may also be realized by using readily available scrubbing fluids and reductants, as well as, open-loop and closed-loop switching capabilities.
- a two-stage scrubbing system which includes a first stage jet ejector venturi in which an alkaline fluid is spayed into the flue gas to produce a saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid and the saturated flue gas flows through a venturi.
- the alkaline fluid can be sprayed into the throat of the venturi in sufficient quantities to cause the flow of fluid through the venturi to generate a draft, propelling the saturated flue gas through the venturi.
- the exhaust stream is fed through the scrubbing system without the use of a fan.
- a fan may be employed to facilitate the flow of flue gas through the scrubbing system; however, it is expected that the demand on the fan would be lower than if such a jet ejector venturi were not employed.
- the venturi can also act to cause particulates to impact the alkaline fluid and sulfur dioxide in the flue gas to react to the alkaline reductant in the fluid.
- a majority of the sulfur dioxide may be reacted in this stage and reduced to sulfur-containing salts.
- the saturated flue gas is introduced into a disengaging / scrubbing tower.
- sulfur-containing salts and water can be separated from the flue gas in a disengaging zone and additional sulfur dioxide and water removal can be performed in packing sections of the scrubbing tower before the exhaust gas is finally discharged to the atmosphere.
- substantial amounts of particulates may be scrubbed and most of the SOx can be converted to salts prior to the flue gas reaching the disengaging / scrubbing tower. As such most of the physical separation of the particulates and sulfur-containing components of the flue gas occurs as the flue gas flows into the disengaging zone of the scrubber.
- seawater e.g., obtained as needed from the sea and/or stored on the vessel in a tank
- an alkaline reductant to act as a scrubbing fluid.
- sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate may advantageously be employed in embodiments because of the improved effectiveness of the two-stage systems disclosed herein and the natural alkalinity of seawater.
- the reaction of sodium bicarbonate and sulfur dioxide is illustrated in Eq. 1.
- the systems and methods of the present invention may be employed on any marine vessel for which flue gas sulfur emission abatement is desired.
- the system may be employed on vessels operating in a power range of from 0 to 80 MW, including main, auxiliary engines, and boilers.
- the systems and methods of the present invention may also be employed with flue gases having various compositions.
- the systems and methods may be employed with flue gases having a SO2 composition of 150 to 2500 ppmv, such as 150 to 2000 ppmv, or 150 to 1800 ppmv, or 150 to 1500 ppmv, or 150 to 1200 ppmv, or 150 to 1000 ppmv, or 150 to 500 ppmv, or 2000 to 2500 ppmv, or 1800 to 2500 ppmv, or 1500 to 2500 ppmv, or 1000 to 2500 ppmv, or 500 to 2500 ppmv.
- the flue gas may contain, for example, CO2 at 0 to 6 volume%, O2 at 2 to 15 volume%, H2O at 3 to 10 volume%, and N2 at up to 95 volume%.
- Sulfur dioxide removal for the system may be in the range of 85-90% (mass transfer basis) with stoichiometric amounts of sodium bicarbonate used as the reductant. Efficiencies greater than 90%, such as up to 99%, may be achieved using greater than stoichiometric amounts of sodium bicarbonate. Particulate removal for the system may be in the range of 95-99% (mass transfer basis) for particles of 2 micron or larger, and 90%-99% for particles of 1 micron and larger.
- System 10 may be contained on a marine vessel, and receive a flue gas 12 from the marine vessel.
- the flue gas 12 which contains sulfur dioxide and particulates, is mixed with an alkaline fluid, which is sprayed into the flue gas 12 via one or more nozzles 13, to saturate the flue gas 12 with the alkaline fluid.
- the spray from nozzles 13 may be in the general direction of the throat of venturi 14, facilitating the impaction of particulates in the flue gas onto the alkaline fluid and the reaction of the sulfur dioxide with the fluid as the saturated flue gas passes through the throat and into the venturi.
- the exhaust gas then flows into the disengaging zone 17 of separator 16 where liquid and salts separate from the flue gas and are evacuated via liquid effluent line 38.
- the gases then travel through one or more packing zones 18, which can be structured or random packing, before exiting the separator 16 through stack 30.
- Alkaline fluid may be sprayed onto the packing to facilitate the removal of unreacted sulfur dioxide still remaining in the exhaust gas in separator 16 and to facilitate removal of entrained water in the gas.
- no induced draft or forced draft fans are required to move flue gas 12 through system 10. This may be achieved because the co-current water jet from the spray nozzle located at the top of the jet scrubber is capable of inducing or increasing flue gas pressure within the scrubber.
- the water spray should be of sufficient volume and pressure to provide both adequate flue gas entrainment and enough contacting power and droplet size for scrubbing of particulate.
- an induced draft or forced draft fan may be employed; however, the use of such a jet ejector venturi is expected to reduce the demand required by such a fan.
- the system 10 can operate in closed loop, open loop (optionally, with partial recycle), or can be switchable between closed loop and open loop operation. Switching between operation modes can be accomplished, for example, by opening or closing the desired valves 36 to direct the flow of liquid effluent from line 38 to sludge tank 32, to alkaline fluid storage tank 24, or portions of the liquid effluent to both.
- On on-board water treatment and/or monitoring system may also be employed to analyze the water quality or treat the effluent contained in sludge tank 32 before it is discharged to the ocean or other appropriate discharge location.
- Sea water 22 may be added to sludge tank 32 as needed, for example, to dilute contaminants captured in sludge tank 32, to treat the effluent, or to facilitate physical separation of its contents.
- Neutralizing and other additives may be added to sludge tank 32 as needed.
- the contents of the storage tank 32 can be discharged via one or more discharge ports 34 as needed.
- All or a portion of the liquid effluent may also be recycled to alkaline fluid storage tank 24.
- the liquid effluent may be treated prior to recycle by an on-board water treatment system.
- reductant 26 is added to fresh water 28.
- Reductant 26 may be any material suitable for reaction with sulfur dioxide, for example, sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate.
- Sea water 22 may be added on-demand to the fluid in storage tank 24 to use as alkaline fluid 20. In closed loop operation, stored onboard freshwater 28 can be added instead of sea water 22.
- System 10 may be used in once-through mode or, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the flue gas that has passed through the packing sections 18 can be recycled, for example, upstream of the venturi 14.
- methods for scrubbing a marine vessel flue gas containing particulates and sulfur dioxide may include spraying an alkaline fluid into the flue gas to produce a saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid; and flowing the saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid through a venturi to cause the particulates in the flue gas to impact the alkaline fluid and react at least a portion of the sulfur dioxide with the alkaline fluid.
- the alkaline fluid may be added in sufficient quantities to enable the flue gas to flow through the venturi under suction without the assistance of a fan. Further, in any embodiment, the alkaline fluid is sprayed co-currently with the flue gas stream in the direction of the venturi.
- the method may include flowing the flue gas through a separator downstream of the venturi for separating water from the flue gas.
- the separator may be, for example, a scrubber.
- the scrubber may have a disengaging zone for receiving flue gas that has passed through the venturi and at least one packing section for receiving flue gas after it passes through the disengaging zone.

In any embodiment, 95 to 99% of particles of 2 micron or larger in the flue gas may be removed, as measured on a mass transfer basis. In any embodiment, 90 to 99% of particles of 1 micron and larger in the flue gas may be removed, as measured on a mass transfer basis.
- the alkaline fluid may be collected and recycled.
- a system for scrubbing a marine vessel flue gas may include a flue gas stream containing particulates and sulfur dioxide produced from the marine vessel; an alkaline fluid spraying system adapted to spray an alkaline fluid into the flue gas stream to produce a saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid; and a venturi adapted to receive the saturated flue gas stream and impact the particulates in the flue gas onto the fluid and react at least a portion of the sulfur dioxide with the alkaline fluid.
- the alkaline fluid spraying system may spray the alkaline fluid in sufficient quantities to enable the flue gas to flow through the venturi under suction without the assistance of a fan. Further, in any embodiment, the alkaline fluid spraying system sprays the alkaline fluid co-currently with the flue gas stream in the direction of the venturi.

In any embodiment, the system may remove 90 to 99% of particles of 1 micron and larger in the flue gas, as measured on a mass transfer basis.
- the system may operate in a closed loop mode, an open loop mode, or may be switchable between open loop and closed loop modes.
- closed loop mode the sulfur-containing salts and particulates captured by the system may be stored in a storage tank.
- most of the water can be recycled each pass, for example, at least 80 volume%, at least 90 volume%, or at least 95 volume% of the total water injected into the system per pass, to minimize the amount of makeup freshwater and/or sea water that is added to the system.
